Once their conversation with Autumn was over, they went to see Ilenia.

Col had not entirely believed everything she spoke of, such as what she claimed about the kingdom’s intentions.

However, he understood that her plan was not just a simple idea, that there was a meticulousness about it. When he imagined her standing up to something so big, even he shivered a little. And he remembered what Autumn had said:

“She might be at a dead end, like me.”

If he could not offer help to those in trouble, then faith was meaningless.

“She said the sign had a ship on it, right?”

Similar businesses clustered together in any city, so by gathering what they heard from the stalls, they had arrived on the inn street. It was chaotic, lively, and full of energy. People passing one another on the street did not look at each other not because they were rude, but because of the possibility that they did not speak the same language or because their thoughts were consumed by preparations they needed to make for the journey ahead.

Either way, there was a unique air about it.

It was like a gathering place for stray cats.

“Found it!”

Myuri pointed to a rusting copper sign featuring a ship that hung from the eaves of a nearby building. The round sign went well with the design of the ship’s bow poking out from beneath it.

They opened the door, and the cowbell rung lazily. The tavern was flourishing despite how early it was, and almost every seat was taken. At any other tavern in town, they would all turn their heads to look them up and down, but no one paid them any mind.

They slipped through the gaps between the tables, heading farther in, and they spoke to the owner who was flipping through the account book.

“Ilenia Gisele? Oh, Gisele the Black Sheep, huh? She just came back in. Her room’s the one in the back on the third floor.”

The owner did not lift his face from the book. Col was startled for a moment when he heard “Black Sheep,” but that hair of hers certainly did remind him of a black sheep. He thought about simply leaving her a message, but things would go much quicker if they could meet in person. He thanked the owner and they headed upstairs. There were several open doors along the hallway, and he could hear the cheerful sounds of chatting and melodies of instruments.

Ilenia’s room was the last at the end of the corridor, and they knew it was hers right away.

Mountains of scrap cloth and balls of wool peeked out from the boxes and sacks piled up beside her door, and there were even sheep horns decorating the top of the doorframe.

“…”

Myuri, who had been sensitive about eating mutton after meeting Ilenia for the first time, stared up at the horns in awe.

“It might be a spell.”

When she leaned forward to knock, the doorknob moved.

“…I’m sorry to bother you again.”

Ilenia stared at them from the other side of the door.
